Digital threats to corporations, governments and individuals are at the highest level that they have ever been. Cyber security is not just dominating the headlines but conversations in boardrooms as well. A data leak or similar attack poses massive financial, reputational and legal risks for companies. Smaller companies are even more vulnerable as they might not have dedicated people or resources trying to combat hackers who are actively attempting to target them.

Finance professionals spend a great deal of time with the planning, budgeting, and forecasting (PBF) process. It is an important aspect of business planning since it not only provides management with measurable goals and targets but also offers a broad outline as to how to achieve those goals. In fact, the CFO and the finance department in some organisations, can drive business with active and aggressive planning and budgeting process. Given the importance of the PBF process to the modern-day organisation, it is not surprising that a significant amount of resources are devoted to it. Download your free copy of the report here.
